Looking at season ticket plans for next year for the Carolina Hurricanes, my local NHL team that are a serious contender to win the Stanley Cup this season but don't have a large fanbase, it's $2500-5000 for anything on the lower level. I think it's a 41 game home schedule. You can get in as low as $860 for the worst seats in the upper deck, but even decent seats up top are $2000+.
Back when things were normal, the wife could usually get her hands on a pair of free lower level tickets for 3 or 4 games a season through her work. It's a class experience and easily the most fun American live sporting experience unless you really like getting drunk in the sun at a day baseball game, but I'm not paying that kind of money even for a single game when I can just watch it on tv if I'm interested. I'm not made of money.
